Crab, Shrimp, and Corn Salad on Sourdough Baguette





Yields
Makes 8 to 10 sandwiches

The sweet, delicate flavors of fresh crab and bay shrimp shine in simple recipes like this one. Prep Time: 25 minutes. Notes: For a milder onion flavor, rinse diced onion with cold water and pat dry before adding to salad.

 8 to 10 baguette pieces (4 in. long) from 2 regular-size sourdough baguettes
 1/2 pound shelled cooked crab, thoroughly drained and patted dry
 1/2 pound cooked bay shrimp (also called salad shrimp), thoroughly drained and patted dry
 3/4 cup fresh corn kernels (sliced from 1 to 2 ears of corn)
 1 medium red onion, diced (about 1 cup; see Notes)
 1 red or orange bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
 1/2 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
